Most hiccups will stop on their own. Home remedies are generally sufficient to resolve hiccupping. For persistent hiccups (lasting more than three hours) treatment varies, and you may need to contact your doctor. A physician may prescribe medications for severe, chronic hiccups.
In physics, a force is said to do work if, when acting, there is a displacement of the point of application in the direction of the force. For example, when a ball is held above the ground and then dropped, the work done on the ball as it falls is equal to the weight of the ball (a force) multiplied by the distance to the ground (a displacement). Work transfers energy from one place to another or one form to another.
Physics is one of the major branches of science. People who work in physics are called physicists. Physicists study matter and the forces (pushes or pulls) that act on it. (Matter is what makes up all physical objects.) Physicists also study many different forms of energy.
